A wedding is not house-keeping.

A man trying to escape never thinks himself sufficiently concealed.

It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive.... We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.

There in the awful silence and darkness, the rude first forms of life, phantomlike, demoniacal, pursue their horrible instincts.
